A little glitter goes a long way. Take it from today’s Preen by Thornton Bregazzi show at London Fashion Week, which found its army of eco-friendly warriors—clad in oversize neoprene coats, floral windbreaker frocks, and fur-trimmed slippers—displaying a bold new iridescent makeup statement.
Inspired by oyster diving, makeup artist Val Garland dusted a halo of gold-and-turquoise-flecked glitter along the hairlines of every model, carefully letting it cascade down the forehead and upper cheeks in a gradient effect. Paired with hairstylist Eugene Souleiman’s air-dried, nipped-at-the-neck waves, the look offered up an ethereal new way to wear glitter. And, served as a light-catching special effect as the models orbited around the runway’s glacial centerpieces.
While Garland’s extreme wash of glitter may not be practical for everyday life, it provides a dreamy inspirational jumping-off point for adding just a hint of sparkle to party makeup, whether smudged into the inner corners of the eyes or tapped onto the mouth. The best part? When it comes to application, imperfection isn’t just allowed—it’s encouraged.
